Chapter 10 Chapter 10 You can be knocked down with one punch
After getting on the Star Shuttle, Lu Zhiluan took the kitten out of the cat bag to let it breathe, and placed the kitten's small cushion on the seat next to him.
Jing Miao lay obediently on his hands, and waited until Lu Zhiluan had smoothed the small mat before he walked over and lay down on the spot, forming a small ball.
The Star Shuttle driver sitting opposite him exclaimed in amazement, "Is your cat bionic?"
Lu Zhiluan said calmly: "No, it's a real cat. It's just a little depressed and doesn't like to move."
Driver: “Huh?”
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, this guy looks like a celebrity, why does he speak so abstractly?
After the Star Shuttle entered the aerial track, it moved very quickly. Lu Zhiluan looked out the window and could only see a meteor-like light passing before his eyes.
It was like being in the universe and watching a small star shower.
The first half of the journey was automatic driving. The driver had nothing to do and kept looking at the little black cat.
Ten minutes passed and the kitten remained in the same position, like a sculpture.
Won’t your body feel numb?
After a while, the driver moved his butt over, got a little closer, looked at the kitten, and asked Lu Zhilan, "Can I touch it?"
Jing Miao's eyelids jumped when he was suddenly surrounded by a strange aura. He immediately stood up and moved towards Lu Zhilan.
Finally, he glanced at the driver, his disdain clearly expressed.
Driver: …
It felt like an arrow hit my heart.
Lu Zhiluan retracted his gaze and looked down at the kitten lying beside his legs. His heart softened and he said helplessly to the driver, "It is very wary of strangers. It took me several days of cold stares to gain its trust."
The driver looked at the little cat lying on Lu Zhiluan's legs like a little doll, and thought to himself that he couldn't see why it was so forced.
After trying various snacks and toys to entice the kitten, it remained unmoved. Instead, it shrank completely into its owner's arms without raising its head. The driver finally calmed down and realized that he seemed to be hated by the kitten.
In the small space, some were happy and some were sad. The most surprised one was Lu Zhiluan. He didn't expect that just after he went out, Coal Ball would take the initiative to crawl into his arms.
Let’s just say that reading books can really help you learn knowledge!
It seems that I have to buy back those books in the shopping cart. When he becomes rich, I will definitely go all in!
A big, bold, playful kitten is just around the corner.
Jing Miao nestled in Lu Zhilan's arms and looked up.
The young doctor's eyelashes were slightly curved, with a smile in his eyes, and his other hand touched his back gently.
The warmth of the skin is transmitted through the thin layer of cloth, warm and comfortable, and the clean and clear breath mixed with the fragrance of the laundry beads forms a pleasant smell that belongs only to the person in front of me.
Jing Miao's nose twitched slightly, and sleepiness gradually came over him after relaxing.
About half an hour later, the Star Shuttle, which had been travelling steadily, began to shake and sway from side to side, as if it was obstructed by air currents.
Lu Zhiluan hugged the sleeping kitten and looked out. It was pitch black outside. Only a beam of light from the Star Shuttle was particularly conspicuous in the darkness. A cold and indifferent face with no desires was reflected on the window.
The driver turned off the automatic driving and got into the manual cockpit. He turned back and reminded Lu Zhiluan, "After turning right, you will reach the skyway to Mid-Levels Park. Mid-Levels Park has been abandoned for a long time, and this passage has long been out of maintenance. There are often iron-eating bugs in it, and the tracks along the way will be gnawed by them. You must sit still. If you get hurt, don't blame me."
Lu Zhiluan paused when he heard this, lowered his head, scooped the kitten into the cat bag, and held it tightly against his chest.
The next second, the Star Shuttle began to shake violently, as if it had suffered some kind of powerful impact.
Then Lu Zhiluan heard some strange noises outside, like the rustling sound of a mouse gnawing on something.
Seeing Lu Zhiluan's serious expression, the driver consoled him, "Don't be so nervous. They can't get in. I've walked this road many times. Just sit still and there won't be any problem. We'll get you there for sure."
As he spoke, he pulled up the joystick with one hand, and the Star Shuttle took off directly, speeding forward in the darkness like a rocket.
Outside the Star Shuttle, there was the sound of stones hitting the window. As the shuttle shook, Lu Zhilan saw a few small red blood flowers blooming on the transparent glass window.
Ten minutes later, the Star Shuttle landed smoothly in a dilapidated square with fallen leaves and dead branches scattered all over the ground.
Lu Zhiluan walked out and was startled by the chilly wind blowing towards him.
Unlike the warm and sunny weather in the old city, the weather here is a bit gloomy and the temperature is particularly low.
The driver looked at Lu Zhiluan's frail body, thought for a moment, and reminded him: "Although I don't know what you are doing here, I would like to give you a piece of advice. If you encounter a group of fierce and evil masked people, remember to hide and don't confront them head-on."
"Those people are mercenaries, specializing in doing dirty work for others." The driver raised his chin slightly and looked at the endless green field behind Lu Zhiluan. "You also know that some people have too much money to spend, so they like to collect some rare and exotic animals to keep at home to show off their wealth. Behind the Mid-Levels Park is a primitive forest left over from ancient times. There are all kinds of things in it. Those people received high commissions and often went deep into the forest to catch some uncommon species and bring them back for their work."
"People like that are very angry and have bad tempers. If you see them, remember to avoid them."
The driver glanced at Lu Zhiluan and said bluntly, "You are so small, I think I can knock you down with just one punch."
Lu Zhiluan: "Thank you for the reminder. I will be careful."
The driver waved his hands cheerfully and continued, "I'm mainly worried that something might happen to you, and I'll lose the next business."
Lu Zhiluan, who had just been diagnosed as weak and unable to withstand a beating: "..."
In fact, you don’t have to say the following sentence.
Lu Zhiluan also booked this Star Shuttle for his return trip, but the time was in the afternoon and the driver had other orders on the way and could not wait for him here.
"If you are unlucky enough to run into those interstellar mercenaries, just follow this location card and go to the research institute here for help," said the driver.
"Those stupid researchers inside may not have much brute force, but they were sent by Canaan, and most people don't dare to mess with them."
The driver handed a silver-blue card to Lu Zhiluan, waved to him, and then drove away in the Star Shuttle.
Lu Zhiluan put the card away and turned to look at the Mid-Levels Park behind him.
The square in front of me was very wide. Looking around, I saw weeds all around and a lot of rotten and decayed leaves piled on the ground. Because it had rained before, everything was dirty and black, and the color of the original stone slabs could no longer be seen.
A huge arch stands in the square, which is also covered with traces of wind and frost.
Lu Zhiluan walked through the archway with his bag on his back and went inside.
Ask the system as you walk: "Are there any signs of small animals detected nearby?"
The system checked and answered: ""Not available yet."
The further you go in, the narrower the road becomes. The trees on both sides are tall and towering into the clouds, with branches extending in all directions and leaves densely intertwined like a thick sea of clouds, severely blocking the sunlight.
The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves was particularly permeating in the dim and quiet environment.
Lu Zhiluan had a serious expression on his face. He couldn't help feeling a little nervous and afraid. His steps forward were a little heavy, and he was hesitant to retreat in his heart.
Or maybe I should go back and rescue stray cats and dogs in the city...
Jing Miao woke up when Lu Zhiluan was talking to the driver. He listened quietly to their conversation and extracted some important information from it.
This is where Ganan's research institute is located.
Research institutes are usually equipped with communication base stations, and he might be able to use them to contact his adjutant Zhuo Lan, who is far away on the main planet of Canaan.
Zhuo Lan grew up with him. He was not only his adjutant but also a long-time friend. The two knew each other very well, so there was no way Zhuo Lan could be the traitor.
However, the biggest problem at the moment was that he could not act alone. On the one hand, he had a physical problem, and on the other hand, he was not sure who the traitor on the starship was. If he rashly sent a message to Zhuo Lan, would he expose himself and thus make trouble?
Jing Miao still hasn't figured out why the person behind the scenes trapped him in the body of a cat. If it was an enemy seeking revenge, he could have just killed him and be done with it if he had the means to tamper with the starship.
Why go to all the trouble to turn him into a cat?
A faint light flashed in the round cat's eyes, implying the depth and coldness of the human soul.
*
Lu Zhiluan walked around the park for nearly an hour, but the system still did not detect the presence of any small animals.
He was a little frustrated, as he had thought that he would be able to light up a few illustrated books on this trip.
At the same time, they finally realized that the rescue mission was not so easy to accomplish.
After taking a look into the depths of the dark forest, Lu Zhiluan calmed himself and decided to go a little further inside.
The system has been checked and there are no dangerous hidden dangers around.
Putting the bag in front of him and protecting the cat inside with both hands, Lu Zhiluan walked inside with determination.
Jing Miao narrowed his eyes in the backpack, watching the increasingly dark scene around him. He could no longer see through this man. He had not expected that this man was not afraid of death.
Just to see the little animals?
After half a month of observation, Jing Miao was basically certain that Lu Zhiluan really treated him as a real cat.
It doesn't look like he's in cahoots with the guys who bombed the starship.
However, this person's identity is still very suspicious. He has an overly eye-catching appearance and a very strange personality. He suddenly appeared on a poor and backward planet to open a health care shop. He also has special healing abilities. There is a sense of incongruity about him.
But there is one thing he can be 100% sure of: Lu Zhiluan really likes small animals.
Jing Miao lowered his eyes, looking at the slender fingers that had reached into his bag and gently touched his chin. Suddenly, his teeth felt a little itchy...
Jing Miao turned his head to avoid the outstretched finger, looked at it for a while, and decided to follow his inner thoughts. He opened his mouth and bit the white jade-like index finger.
"Hiss~"
The fingers retracted as if in shock, and Jing Miao heard a man's soft inhalation above his head.
The tongue licked across the fangs, and it seemed as if the temperature of the skin was still remaining on them.
Jing Miao lay down, his little cat mouth curled up, and his mood became inexplicably happy.
He thought he would try to contact Zhuo Lan again after some time.
